WBBB Nylon Patch

I had a chance over the weekend to tryout my new WBBB 1.1 DL and it is everything folks have said it is--comfortable, easy to setup and take down, and roomy with a minimum of excess weight. I noticed a black nylon patch down towards the footbox--does anyone know why it's there?

Ah--that makes sense. When I was squirming around to find a "sweet" spot, I would dig my heels in around there to move around thus putting more force on the hammock in the footbox. Just another indicator of the intelligent design of WBBB constructed for hammockers BY a hammocker.

With the quaility of Brandon's work I don't see him selling anything with a "stitching mistake" except as a second and letting you know there was a "mistake" before you bought it. I own 2 of his hammocks (BB) and his work is excellent. Don't know when but my next hammock purchase will be a Traveler.

Seems a normal standard for vendors here to offer quality coupled with helpful honesty. The quality of my WBBB is impressive considering the price and made in the USA. Don't feel bad Ed, I am a "trained observer" and I missed it. Going to look on the next hang though.

The Traveler may be my next too. If Judy likes hammock camping that is...maybe even if she does not. It would go real well in Kenya (fingers crossed here) in carry on luggage.

Mark is the name and If there is more than one way to understand what I just said....I meant the good one.

The reinforcement patch is definitely just that, extra help to relieve undue stress on that area of the hammock, and a nice design touch. It is in no way a patch to cover a flaw--this hammock is impeccably designed and constructed.

...and Law Dog (who owns a Vario)... run, don;t walk, to get a Traveler.

No Vario yet. The warden gave me the nod to order it tomorrow though.

Been lusting for the Traveler (one item on a two page wish list) but a UQ TQ really need to be next. The Vario will allow bride of my youth to give my WBBB a try or three. My hope is that she will be so smitten that the entire camp kit will be ready before next Spring.
